For sale is a complete set (books 1 – 7) of Harry Potter Hardcover U. 1st Edition, Early & First Print Bloomsbury published books with original dust jackets. First editions, not Ted Smart, book club or foreign edition. All books include original un-clipped dust jackets. There is no writing, stamps, stickers or inscriptions inside or out. The books are clean with no torn, missing or loose pages, and great overall bindings and all stand easily on their own. As you can see from the pictures, the books are in very nice condition, but are not without some minor flaws as each book has been used at varying levels and some wear should be expected. A very solid collector/display level set. Individual conditions are based on industry standard definitions and grading is given for the individual jackets and books below. I try to make note of anything I would consider more noticeable or hard to see in pictures, but typical wear for grading condition should be expected as they are not perfect, and if you have questions or need further pictures beyond allowable 12 for the posting, please contact me as I would be happy to help. The Philosopher’s Stone: 1st Edition, 26th Print. Print Line: “26 27 28 29 30″. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good (slight sun fading to spine; minor wear to covers and edges).

The Goblet of Fire: 1st Edition, 23rd Print. Print Line: “30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23″. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine (minimal wear; great jacket). Book & Boards Condition: Very Good+ (minor edge and corner wear; some early separation between spine wrap and spine with slight bending to spine wrap, but binding is still strong). The Order of the Phoenix: 1st Edition, 1st Print. Print Line: “First Edition” First print of books 4-7 were all stated “first edition” and didn’t use a number line until 2nd print run. (minimal cover, edge and corner wear; very nice jacket). Book & Boards Condition: Near Fine (unread binding; minimal edge wear; hard to find these thick ones this nice). The Half Blood Prince: 1st Edition, 1st Print. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good (minor edge and corner wear, mostly along the top). Book & Boards Condition: Very Good minor edge and corner wear; small chip to back spine edge near middle and one to the top front edge near the corner; some bumping to a handful of page edges; some early separation between spine wrap and spine that has caused a slight forward lean to the top board, but binding is solid. The Deathly Hallows: 1st Edition, 1st Print. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good- (some edge wear, mostly around the top spine edge; minor rubbing to covers with some thin scratching to the back but not too bad). Book & Boards Condition: Very Good- minor edge and corner wear; some bumping to a handful of pages in the very back; square binding with some early separation beginning between the spine wrap and spine. The only ones not pictured are in fact stated first edition, first print runs (books 6 & 7 and if you would like pictures just shoot me a private message). The big thing is that upon my examination, there is no writing, inscriptions or stamps, and the bindings are all great and holding together well with no loose or missing pages throughout, and as you can see they stand up easily on their own without any bookends. A very nice first edition set. This is a very nice early set of books that are becoming increasingly hard to find in such good condition. It will make a wonderful gift or addition for any HP Fan seeking to build their Harry Potter book collection with an early UK first edition set! I try and scrutinize my books the best I can when grading the condition, but if you have any questions about the set or an individual book after closely examining the pictures and description, please don’t hesitate to message me as I would be happy to assist and even send additional pictures if needed.
